A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 139 Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire

"Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire!"

Lin He silently thought to himself, "This Nascent Soul level divine power is extraordinary. For Core Formation cultivators, it's like a dimensional reduction attack. In the original story's Hidden Fiend Sect instance, a group of Core Formation cultivators were scared half to death by the old demon's divine power and couldn't muster the slightest thought of fighting back."

Upon seeing the old demon unleash the Heavenly Corpse Fire, completely disregarding his remaining magical power and the burden it placed on Wu Chou's body, it seemed he was truly enraged by Lin He.

Although Lin He was confident in his supernatural abilities, and that even a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was no match for him, he lacked the confidence to withstand the Heavenly Corpse Fire, and he did not want to risk his life to test whether he could withstand it.

At this moment, the Extreme Yin Ancestor held a floating, pitch-black fireball in his palm and waved it toward Lin He.

Immediately afterward, the fireball transformed into a streak of black light, arriving in front of Lin He in the blink of an eye. Its speed far surpassed Lin He's, causing his face to turn ashen.

Fortunately, there was this giant corpse with the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage. Lin He only needed to use his divine sense to activate it, and it immediately stood in front of him. The pitch-black fireball quickly hit the abdomen of the giant corpse.

A jet-black flame began to burn. Fortunately, this was a refined corpse and felt no pain. Even so, the giant pill corpse's abdomen was charred black, with a large hole burned through it by the flame, revealing the bones inside. It was only because this refined corpse had a strong body and high cultivation that it was able to survive. If it were a Core Formation cultivator, it would be dead by now.

Seeing that the Heavenly Corpse Fire had failed to cause fatal damage, Ji Yin's expression turned extremely grim. Then, he shrugged his shoulders, and seven or eight black wisps as thick as bowls flew out, transforming into various wolf-shaped demonic beasts along the way, pouncing towards Lin He.

"snort!"

Lin He snorted coldly, controlling three broadsword warrior puppets, one spear warrior puppet, and Lan Chou's avatar, as they fought against numerous wolf-shaped demonic beasts.

At the same time, with a thought, two pale hands seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, successfully capturing four more Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses, which made Ji Yin grit his teeth in anger.

"With this refined corpse here, even the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire can't kill him. Damn it, if I hadn't used the possession technique, how could things have come to this? But with my current magic power, I can't use the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire many more times. Besides, if this fight continues, Wu Chou's body probably won't be able to withstand it. After all, he's the only descendant. Oh well, oh well—"

The Extreme Yin Ancestor's expression shifted between light and dark. Finally, he sighed and collected the remaining six Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses. Without the slightest hesitation, his figure transformed into a dazzling black rainbow and disappeared into the horizon in no time.

"Phew—they finally escaped!"

Lin He took a deep breath and controlled the giant pill corpse to fight against the extreme Yin. The consumption of his divine sense was far beyond what Lin He had expected. In the end, he relied entirely on his extraordinary willpower to forcibly hold on. Even so, he was now at his limit and had no strength left to chase after the extreme Yin.

He quickly put away the eighteen corpses, as well as many puppets, including Lan Chou, and only then did he feel a little better.

At this moment, he was dizzy and disoriented. It was only because he had cultivated the third level of the Great Evolution Technique that his divine sense was so powerful that it was equivalent to that of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. Otherwise, how could he have controlled the giant Core Corpse to fight against the Extreme Yin for a period of time, and even forced the Extreme Yin to retreat?

Of course, this is also because Ji Yin is only possessing Wu Chou's body, and can only exert 30% of the original body's strength at most, which is equivalent to a powerful late-stage Core Formation cultivator. If the original body were to come in person, Lin He would not fight him at all and would have chosen to run away long ago.

In the original story, if the Crimson Fire Old Monster hadn't defected and had joined forces with Sect Master Sun to deal with the possessed Extreme Yin, it would have been hard to say who would have won. However, according to Lin He's own guess, Extreme Yin would most likely have won, since he still had eighteen Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses in his hands. But Sect Master Sun also had four Fiend Core clones at the early stage of Core Formation, and he himself was a powerful late-stage Core Formation cultivator. Even if they couldn't win, they still had a chance to escape.

Lin He was extremely weak at this moment and dared not linger. He quickly took out a fiery red flying sword magic weapon, transformed it into a streak of fire, and flew towards Tianxing City.

In the cave dwelling that Lin He rented in Tianxing City, he was sitting cross-legged and taking several high-quality pills before his complexion improved.

Ape One, along with two beautiful young women, were looking at Lin He with worried expressions.

Yanli and Yuanyao exchanged a worried glance. They had finally found a Core Formation cultivator willing to help them cultivate. If Lin He were to die from his injuries so carelessly, they truly wouldn't know what to do. Fortunately, Lin He...

My complexion is much better than before, which puts my mind at ease.

Recalling Lin He's pale face when he first arrived at the cave, both women still felt lingering fear.

Yuan Yi immediately asked, "Master, how are your injuries?"

"Don't worry! I've just overexerted my spiritual energy; I'm not seriously injured. I'll recover naturally over time."

Lin He stood up and looked at Yuan Yao and Yan Li. Their cultivation levels hadn't increased, indicating they hadn't taken the Foundation Establishment Pills yet. He asked, "Didn't I already give you Foundation Establishment Pills? Why haven't you taken them?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao hesitated, then finally looked at Yan Li. The latter had no choice but to ask, "Senior, as the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. We sisters have not done anything for you yet, and now we are receiving such a generous reward. We—we dare not accept it!"

Lin He was taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly realized, and said, "I see. It seems that after what happened with the young master of Qingyang Sect, you've become like frightened birds. I gave you Foundation Establishment Pills, but you were worried that I had ulterior motives, so you haven't dared to take them. Is that right?"

Yanli and Yuanyao were embarrassed upon hearing this, but Lin He shook his head and said, "You are just Qi Refining cultivators, what can you do for me?"

Even if I really have something to send someone to do, I won't ask you to do it.

"9

Yanli then said, "We sisters can't really help you much, but we can still do chores like washing clothes, making beds, and serving tea and water."

Lin He glanced at the two of them, and for some reason suddenly nodded and said, "Alright, since you want to do it, then go ahead and do it. However, I won't stay in Tianxing City for long. You should focus on building your foundation first. With me watching over you, I can take action in time to resolve any unexpected situations that may arise."

,

The two women breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lin He had agreed. Since Lin He was willing to protect them, they were naturally happy to accept it. They then each chose a quiet room and began to take Foundation Building Pills to build their foundation.

Lin He left Yuan Yi to watch over things for the time being, while he went to another room, activated the formation, and began to take stock of the spoils of this great battle.
